{Shooter Baby} Mojo138 & Monday Mania

So I have a question for you: I've noticed that some of my cards that I'm maybe not soo sure about have been getting a lot of feedback and on the other hand some of my cards that I really really love, haven't. Does that happen to you too? Or is it just me? lol

Oh well...as long as the card can bring a smile to someone's face I say mission accomplished, right? :)

So time is becoming more and more sparse so I combined this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge with this week's Monday Mania challenge. Gotta love a two-fer!!

This week's Mojo sketch is a definite Sketchbook Keeper. I just love those three strips on the right there.

This week's Monday Mania challenge over at Club Anya is presented to us by Crafty Jenn and she's challenging us to Pierce it! Punch it! Piece it! Sounds like good times right?

So I got

busy with my card here: I featured the cute Cheeky Shooter from the Greeting Farm. I love love love their retro, vintage-y pin-up look. I colored her in with Copic Markers, added some small Rhinestones to her belt and scarf and paper pieced her boots.

The papers I used are from the East Meets West collection by Moxxie. I did some heavy distressing to the edges of the paper and the cork panel with my Cuttlebug scissors and I sponged some Vintage Photo ink all around the edges.

I used Kraft Thread to go with my card and did some partial double line stitching on the main background panel and some zig zag stitching on the smaller panel behind Cheeky Shooter. I wanted the stitching to add to this messy and sort of unfinished look to it so you'll notice they are neither perfectly straight nor completely off-kilter and there are also some small pieces of thread sticking out at various places.

A piece of Jute Twine, some brads and paper piercing to the main background panel and the small hanging paper strips finish the card.

Thank you so very much for taking the time and stopping by! I love having you over!! :)
